Had a friend show up today with a lucky board just put in. He couldn't really figure it out since he had no manual .

Anyways, I was ganna ask, Opt:

I've been havin' the same problem with my Reg. The O-Ring on the On/Off knob shaft on the Discharge side has been going bad real fast. I'm already on my third and only played two days. I figure I need to lube it, so fixing isn't really the problem. It's what to use to keep it goin' and where to get it from. I figure DOW 33 from.. somewheres.

And would lubing fix my very, very slow recharge rate? Had to run at 290psi today to keep from going below the operating pressure.

wow...290...thats high...but i know what you mean. My friends VS3's reg jumps really bad too. Maybe a break in will do...but i doubt it cause you've used it a few times already....i just got a Front Block and reg...lol. It solved my problems.

No it held steady at 290, it was just because the recharge rate was so slow that when I would let loose a stream at 10-12bps for more a second or two the PSI would drop below 200 and it wouldn't recock because the Reg couldn't recharge fast enough to keep up.

Yea you need to lube the regulator, or take the easy way and contact Kingman.
